Mission prestige, "The march of Tortodrones" must be available to
Wednesday 12 incl. However, the mission was withdrawn this morning without explanation.

I had 4 Ancient shell still get to finish my shields that I can not do obviously.

Please fix this error by making available again this mission until the due date.

Thank you for your attention, Regards

I am curious

What does incl. stand for again?

incl. means included or inclusive, as in, "1-12 incl." would mean all the numbers in between AND 1 and 12. In contrast to excl, which would not include 1 and 12.

It would be a location based issue. The server time is different after all.

Maybe someone at OOO spilled coffee on the computer and sprung the server forward a day instead of an hour.

Odds are that it is just a technical error that will be fixed later today as their announcement said it would be going through the 12th. It is currently about March 11th, 5:50-5:55AM where OOO's offices are, meaning nobody is there yet. Give them time to wake up and get to work and I am sure it will be fixed. They may even extend it by a day since it is down for a little bit.

These kinds of things happen, you just have to wait for the people to get to work to fix the kinks.

Investigating!

The mission is supposed to be available through March 12. We've asked the developers to take a look at what happened.

Maybe a gorgo body slammed the button?

I have no mouth and I need to scream

Can someone explain to me how a giant aggressive rocket turtle went after the mission instead of a staff members office?

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!

The Devilites took a coffee break and stopped forcing all the Trotodrones to keep migrating.

Thanks for quick answer, but ...

Are you serious? You just told us that it ends sooner than expected just because "Oops the gorgo press the button."
I'm not a child, beautiful story does not make me forget the disappointments.

I'm Irritated to see how you seem detached from the situation.
And I'm glad not to have spent money on this game
I hesitated yesterday to spend a little money to collect more materials, as well as the purchase of spark for the elite mission.

You turn down in my esteem I am very disappointed. The quality of the game down to each new event:

Horrible winterfest - useless item
Valentine's day - just to pay-have
Warden Promotion - same as before
Tortodrones - Frustrating and aborted
The following?

@Silvercom

The event was turned off by mistake. We've asked the developers to turn it back on to run through the 12th, but we need to wait for them to get to the office. I'm sorry that wasn't clear before.

Silvercom, calm down. there was nothing hinting on what you have said in that comment. it's humor. if you are here for some time, you know OOO style. besides, Aphrodite is a GM, not a dev. she can't do anything about this. I think she's as surprised and hit by this as all of us (unless she was one of the people that got the shields in a flash).

and of all the things you mentioned, two were promos, and two were difficult optional events. I agree that grinchil could have had more than that in rewards, but it was still optional. you aren't forced to do it.

Don't forget the gong sound!

Thwooooong!

Wait, was that a Strong Stun or a Minor Stun? I'm guessing Strong Stun...You'll probably be stunned for a little while unless you're wearing Jelly or Plate gear.

@Aphrodite : Happy ending !

I understand better now. Everything is a matter of time zone.
I'm in europe and it soon 18pm when in reality it is 10am

I am confused about my comments. I'll wait and see.

It is not obvious to a European player to keep in mind that the clock is not the same.
Although the tone was brutal, all my remarks was experienced as injustice.
Continue to make a good game and try not to get lost on the way.

And if you cross the gorgo who did it, give him a charged shot of Blitz.
See you in the game. ^^

This bug is still in game

This bug is still in game now. Can you please extend the event for this ? I know that this might sound op, but I don't have much time on the week and it doesn't help that the game doesn't work on the day where I have a bit time. The mission wasn't working for this one day, so it should be extended by one day, or more(please, make it last until next sunday, so everyone gets enough time)

The only thing i got from this is that around 10am - noon on a Monday the developers were not in the office. Either they work from home or flat out don't work on Mondays. Are you guys hiring?:):)

Update!

Sorry knights. Looks like a Devil-IT got loose in the office and hacked the Tortodrone mission. You were doing so well thwarting their plans they decided to strike back!

The mission will be turned back on tomorrow after the game update, and it will remain for several days. We're sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for being patient while we set off some Scintillating Sun Shards to get rid of the infestation.

Scintillating Sun Shards? No wonder it's taken so bloody long. Unacceptable. Retro Sun Shards or bust.

I think the devs work in CA. Most work days start between 9:00-9:30am, which is around noon for EST.

Sorry :V

Might just be a maintenance thing, but... UPDATE CONFIRMED!

There is no way that the infestation will be removed if the shards have so many flipping hit limits. Jeez, retro shards in gunner update.
